[NCUC-DISCUSS] SEEDIG and IGF Open Calls for Thematic Issues for 2021 annual meetings

[Olga Kyryliuk]

Dear All,

Happy New Year! Hoping 2021 will be nicer and easier for all of us. Meanwhile, I want to share a few recent updates that you might consider applying for as NCUC representatives or in any other capacity.

1) Today, the South Eastern European Dialogue on Internet Governance (SEEDIG) officially launched the planning process for its seventh annual meeting - SEEDIG 7 by announcing a call for issues. Respective Internet and digital policy issues, session formats and suggestions for improving meeting experience can be submitted via an online form by 15 February 2021.

If you are originally coming from or currently residing in South Eastern Europe and the neighbouring area (SEE+), you might also consider applying for the SEEDIG 7 Programme Committee the call for which will be announced in a week. To check the overall timeline of the planning process for SEEDIG 7, visit a dedicated webpage.   

SEEDIG 7 will be held in September 2021 in Moldova if circumstances allow, otherwise online or in a hybrid format. So far, the planning process will consider all three options.

2) IGF currently has two open calls:





Taking Stock of IGF 2020 and Suggesting Improvements for IGF 2021
Deadline: 20 January 2021


What was your IGF 2020 experience? Would you suggest changes related to the format and logistics?


     
IGF 2021 Call for Thematic Inputs
Deadline: 31 January 2021


What could be thematic priorities of IGF 2021?
Do you see the process having the same thematic track format and design as last year, or you would suggest changes?

Best,
